Now, Witness the Power of this Fully Operational Battle Station!
The Bendix G-15 was in pretty solid shape when we left off in the previous episode, it was playing Christmas music and chugging along like a boss. But, anyone who is musically attuned will have noticed it didn’t play all the right notes, most likely because we have a memory problem. In this episode, we get the typewriter working well enough to run DIAPER 1 and DIAPER 2 to completion to see just what has gone wrong, and in the end, we come out with the most epic retro battlestation on the planet!

The G15 is fully operational! 70 year old computer running fine! youtu.be/1XIX1K6tyqg?...
For those who take retrocomputing *seriously*: further accounts of repair work on a 1950s Bendix G-15 vacuum tube computer, now passing all tests. (Well, the typewriter's still glitchy, but worse come to worst, they could rig up an interface to a period-appropriate Teletype...)
